Sam Diego Spring Break

The Urban Greenhouse was the perfect place to stay in San Diego! The house was inviting, warm, and had everything that we needed for our family of four while we visited the city. The proximity to Balboa Park, downtown, and the airport was important for our family when choosing a place to stay. We loved our time among all the plants!

Wonderful greenhouse!

We had an awesome and very comfortable stay here. We had four kids and all fit comfortably for a couple of days. I truly enjoyed that this felt like a lived-in home rather than just a "rental", so there was definitely a true feeling of hospitality. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was close to Balboa Park where we spent most of our time. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for a small family

Stayed here with our toddler and it was fantastic! Quiet location that was a quick drive to neighborhood restaurants and shops. We were never more than 20 minutes from any major San Diego attraction. The property itself is very well maintained and had more amenities than expected from the espresso machine to the air fryer as well as dishes and silverware for kids. There were even blackout shades in the bedrooms which made sleep easy for our toddler. Highly recommend for those with young ones!

Great stay at Urban Greenhouse

We had an excellent stay at the Urban Greenhouse. The house was cozy and clean and the plants created a unique and tranquil atmosphere. We appreciated how dog-friendly the property is and enjoyed the nice and walkable neighborhood, close to lots of food options and attractions. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. We would highly recommend this place and hope to stay again in the future.

Cozy Urban Greenhouse

This is the best place we have stayed in, by far! The house is extremely cozy with all the plants. It definitely felt like a home away from home. The neighborhood is very cute and quiet as well, and easy to get to pretty much anywhere. Tom was very accommodating, for both us humans and our dogs. Everything about our stay was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in San Diego.

Perfect location

This home was perfectly located near the places we were visiting in San Diego. Our children enjoyed the comfy feeling of being at home. My daughter said she liked that the lights were on when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. There were only two beds so my oldest did need to sleep on the very nice couch in the living room. We enjoyed the shower the most. Everything in the house was beautifully decorated. We would stay here again if we travel to So Cal in the future.

truly a little green oasis in San Diego

When searching for a house to stay in San Diego we found the urban greenhouse and it was love at first sight. The house was even prettier when we opened the door and discovered each room. The house was equipped with everything you could need and even more. Each question of us was answered so fast and no questions were left. We loved to stay there and we’re sure it was not the last time!

Fabulous cozy comfy house

Very comfortable and inviting house. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. If you need to get some work done the desk setup is a plus. The neighborhood is quiet and several very good restaurants are nearby. Host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We will book this house again when returning to San Diego.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Perry

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Tom! I’m an environmental consultant and avid outdoorsman originally from Pennsylvania. Growing up, I had the best of both worlds. My dad would take me hiking all the time with Scouts and my mom, a horticulturalist, had the most amazing collection of plants. I spent my childhood helping out in greenhouses and outside, exploring the beautiful green landscape of our family farm. I’ve incorporated my passion for plants and nature into my home. I hope you’ll enjoy it -and San Diego- as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I have moved around metro San Diego for 8 years and North Park is by far my favorite. I had an opportunity to buy 3 years ago and found a beautiful craftsman home on a quiet street and in a very safe part of town. It’s central in SD, close to downtown, close to Coronado, Mission bay, the Zoo, Balboa Park, Museums, Shopping and hiking.

What makes this property unique

There aren’t many nature-themed rental homes as they require continuous upkeep and maintenance. The home is stunning and I hope to give as many people the opportunity to experience it as possible.
